I have interview coming up and it will be a interview for magento first time,i search SE and i could find one question, but it was for developer. I been working online for magento project but this time i am nervous and want to get the job, so gotta have a good interview.
So as a magento front end developer, what question should i expect? How much php i should know or should i know,as i am following this tutorials and see a lot of php getting changed so should i only know where to find a template and copy it from, while using jQuery, javascript etc.
Insight would be helpful

- Basic Knowledge to deal with Models / Collections
Javascript

- Basic Syntax and Concepts
- jQuery
Pro:
- Performance Related Concepts (DOM Processing, Rendering etc)
- Understanding of Scopes and Encapsulation
- jQuery Plugins Creation/Modifications
- Prototype
- Understanding of Objects Patterns
CSS/HTML (must be strong here)

- Sass / Compass (4 RWD)
Magento

- Mysql Basic Concepts (to deal with dumps and some queries)
Magento 2
- Less

Just for reference you always have the certification guide.
All other items are relative and personal of each one, and are "position" and seniority dependants.
My two Cents :)

That's, that is a long list. But isn't front end developer limited to js, html and css rather then knowing MVC framework or editing the code of OOP PHP Commented Feb 10, 2016 at 14:00

1Yes but note that I made a separation between basic & pro, with basic should be enough, anyway it depend on the seniority required. Commented Feb 10, 2016 at 14:11
